The book argues that there is a necessity for carefully controlled development of the resources of these regions and suggests that there is a risk of irreversible disturbance without full understanding of these regions. This book provides a detailed documentation of cold-stressed arctic and alpine terrestrial environments and systematically deals with the present and past physical environment - climate, hydrology and glaciology; biota - treeline, vegetation, vertebrate zoology, and historical biogeography; abiotic processes - geomorphological and pedological and the role of man - bioclimatology, archaeology and technological impact, including radioecology. The book will appeal to academics and students of environmental and biological science, as well as providing a significant source for conservationists', government agencies and industrial organizations. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616269123735,"sku":"9780367352516","price":21167.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367352516.webp?v=1775112225","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/arctic-and-alpine-environments-9780367352516","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
